Arsenal will kick start their Europa League Campaign on Thursday against German outfit FC Koln.

Michael Owen expects Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud to be brought back in for Arsenal’s starting lineup.

The former Liverpool and Manchester United striker thinks that the match will be straightforward for Arsenal, given FC Köln’s relative inexperience at this level.

“Cologne’s last win against English opposition in a competitive tie was over 40 years ago and I expect the wait to continue. Although it wouldn’t surprise me if Arsene Wenger shuffled his pack with Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud set for a recall,” said Owen to Bet Victor via Express.
